Today Autodesk is announcing the 2012 versions of its Digital Entertainment Creation products. While each product has plenty of new features and creative capabilities, the most exciting new tools are in Flame Premium 2012 centered on the creative concept of relighting.

Trade shows are a big part of the life of a Technical Specialist at Autodesk. It's our chance to reunite our global team, create new content and demonstrate the new releases of the software to customers face to face. It's also an opportunity to connect with the Product Design team in Montreal at what we call "Boot Camp". Like the name implies, it's a very intense and ambitious exercise but one that propels us into the show and gives us the product knowledge and energy that we take back to our various regions.
